Smart glasses are ushering in a new era.

From CES, MWC, AWE, WAIC, Gamescom, CIOE, Global Digital Trade Expo to Huaqiangbei, emerging players in smart glasses have impressed audiences time and again, emerging as representatives of China’s technological innovation.

Behind the hardware, AI capabilities are reshaping diverse life scenarios and delivering brand-new experiences: meetings, translation, video viewing, social interaction, programming, travel, artistic creation, healthcare, logistics delivery, inspection and more.

The integration of smart wearables, AI and communication networks is spawning a high-growth market with trillion-scale potential. Smart glasses stand out as the fastest-growing segment with the broadest room for imagination.

To advance the development of the smart glasses industry and facilitate upstream and downstream resource integration within the sector, VRAR World, a leading Chinese XR industry media, will host CHINA SMART GLASSES INDUSTRY FORUM 2026.

Date: 27 October, 2026

Venue: JW Marriott Hotel Shenzhen

Co-organized with the Metaverse Working Committee of China Association of Communications Enterprises, VRAR World will bring together industry practitioners to discuss key topics: how global smart glasses move from technical mass production to full-scale commercialization; technological convergence and consumer market breakthroughs for smart glasses; challenges and pathways for scaling up AI glasses and immersive communications beyond technical prototypes; and the large-scale production rollout of core components from lab technologies.

Different from the VRAR EXPO CHINA held in Shanghai every May, CHINA SMART GLASSES INDUSTRY FORUM 2026 will adopt a closed-door forum format with no dedicated exhibition area. The summit features six highlights:

✅ Year-end vertical flagship summit for the smart glasses industry in 2026

✅ Full industrial chain coverage: optics, chips, complete devices, solutions, distribution channels and overseas expansion

✅ Special discussions on mass-production challenges of waveguides, MicroLED and on-device AI

✅ Precise matchmaking for domestic channel deployment and procurement

✅ Full media coverage via VRAR World’s media ecosystem

✅ Field visits to leading Shenzhen-based enterprises and optical manufacturers to boost exchanges

Attendees include smart glasses brands, upstream suppliers of waveguide and microdisplay components, chip makers, ODM/OEM manufacturers, B-end solution providers, national optical retail chains, cross-border service providers, overseas buyers, industrial capital, research institutes and industrial parks. Up to now, more than 20 distinguished founders and industry experts from domestic and international AI/AR smart glasses enterprises will deliver keynote speeches at the forum. We are pleased to announce that the first batch of confirmed speakers has been officially unveiled!
